Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q3 results paint a concerning picture for Manitowoc. The company reported a $7.0 million net loss ($0.20 per share), with adjusted net loss at $2.9 million. Orders declined significantly by 20% year-over-year to $424.7 million, indicating weakening demand. The flat sales of $524.8 million and 21.3% drop in adjusted EBITDA to $26.2 million suggest operational challenges.

The bright spot is non-new machine sales reaching $617.5 million TTM, showing success in the aftermarket segment. However, new crane demand is soft due to macro uncertainties. Management's guidance revision to the lower end signals near-term headwinds, though long-term catalysts remain with infrastructure spending, Middle East activity and aging fleets.

MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (NYSE: MTW) (the “Company” or “Manitowoc”) today reported a third-quarter net loss of $7.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share. Third-quarter adjusted net loss⁽¹⁾ was $2.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.

Orders in the third quarter were $424.7 million, a 20.0% decrease from the prior year, resulting in backlog at the end of the third quarter of $742.1 million. Net sales in the third quarter were flat year-over-year at $524.8 million, and adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $26.2 million, a decrease of 21.3% from the prior year.

“During the quarter, we made good progress on our CRANES+50 strategy; non-new machine sales reached a new high of $617.5 million for the trailing twelve-months. Demand, however, for new cranes slowed as customers await the outcome of the U.S. election and further interest rate cuts. Given the soft results in the third quarter, we are expecting our full year adjusted EBITDA to be at the low end of our guidance. Strengthening our balance sheet with a focus on working capital remains our top financial priority,” commented Aaron H. Ravenscroft, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Manitowoc Company, Inc.

“Looking longer term, we are optimistic as central banks continue to cut interest rates, monies from the Infrastructure and CHIPS bills begin to flow, activity in the Middle East remains strong, and crane fleets age to historic levels. As we continue to launch new machines and execute our CRANES+50 strategy, we are well positioned to capitalize on these trends,” concluded Ravenscroft.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted DEPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, Adjusted ROIC, and free cash flows are financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Manitowoc believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide important supplemental information to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends used in assessing its results of operations. Manitowoc believes excluding specified items provides a more meaningful comparison to the corresponding reporting periods and internal budgets and forecasts, assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by investors and research analysts, provides management with a more relevant measure of operating performance, and is more useful in assessing management performance.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted DEPS

The Company defines adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) plus the addback or subtraction of restructuring and other non-recurring items. Adjusted DEPS is defined as adjusted net income (loss) divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding are adjusted for the effect of dilutive stock awards when there is net income (loss) on an adjusted basis, as applicable. The reconciliation of net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share to adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted DEPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are summarized as follows. All dollar amounts are in millions, except per share data and share amounts.

Adjusted ROIC

The Company defines Adjusted ROIC as adjusted net operating profit after tax (“Adjusted NOPAT”) for the trailing twelve-months ended divided by the five-quarter average of invested capital. Adjusted NOPAT is calculated for each quarter by taking operating income plus the addback of amortization of intangible assets and the addback or subtraction of restructuring expenses, other non-recurring items - net, and provision for income taxes, which is determined using a 15% tax rate. Invested capital is defined as net total assets less cash and cash equivalents and income tax assets - net plus short-term and long-term debt. Income taxes are defined as income tax payables/receivables, net deferred tax assets/liabilities, and uncertain tax positions.

The Company’s Adjusted ROIC as of September 30, 2024 was 6.2%. Below is the calculation of Adjusted ROIC as of September 30, 2024.
